Your plan is laid out great. Step-by-step you are ready to implement your plan. I am impressed by your organization.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily. I think your plan looks very organized. Are you going to use the teachers' reflections as your staff feedback or were you going to distribute something for them like a survey? Do you think one week (the first week of school) will be long enough and provide enough data? Do you think you should collect on September 3rd then again a few weeks later when students have become a lot more comfortable with their teachers? Just a few thoughts...I think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour plan is indeed thorough and organized. i also wonder if September is too soon. Maybe Sept could be the first collection and then you could do one again just before or after xmas.
